Synopsis:
The first five seasons of the popular real-time drama series featuring Federal Agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland). Season One - The first episode begins at midnight on the day of the California Presidential Primary. Jack Bauer heads up the government's Counter-Terrorist Unit. He discovers that there's going to be an assassination attempt on Senator Palmer, an African-American presidential candidate. Bauer faces a battle against the clock to avert disaster. Two - Jack Bauer and the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) race to prevent a nuclear bomb being detonated by terrorists in Los Angeles in the second season of 24. Three - When the head of a Mexican drug cartel is imprisoned by Jack Bauer (Sutherland), a plot ensues to blackmail the US Government with the threat of a released bio-weapon that will kill millions to ensure his release. With Palmer seeking re-election to a second term, will Jack survive this day? Four - 18 months after day 3, CTU has a new leader, Erin Driscoll, a steely government agent who made firing Jack one of her first priorities. After the explosion of a commuter train, Jack, who is now working for Secretary of Defense James Heller and also is romantically involved with Heller's married daughter, Audrey Raines, suddenly finds himself heading back to CTU for a meeting with Driscoll. Jack believes that the train explosion is a prelude for bigger things to come... Five - Jack is, in fact, living under the name of Frank Flynn and conceals his identity by taking a manual job on an oil rig. However, when President Logan is placed at the centre of a labyrinthine conspiracy involving the signing of a vital U.S. - Russian arms treaty, Jack is forced back into action!

Great deal, voted hot. Normally see these at £24 a series. Retailers are so unoriginal. Speaking of which, this thread needs some Jack Bauer facts.

[LIST]
[*]If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, Nina Meyers and a gun with 2 bullets, he'd shoot Nina twice.

[*]Once, someone tried to tell Jack Bauer a “knock knock” joke. Jack Bauer found out who was there, who they worked for, and where the god damned bomb was.

[*]The city of Los Angeles once named a street after Jack Bauer in gratitude for his saving the city several times. They had to rename it after people kept dying when they tried to cross the street. No one crosses Jack Bauer and lives.

[*]When Kim Bauer lost her virginity, Jack found it and put it back.

[*]There is no 'Ctrl' button on Jack Bauer's computer. Jack Bauer is always in control.

[*]A standard deck now contains 48 cards. Too many people were getting hurt for trying to play Jack.

[*]Jack Bauer can talk about Fight Club.

[*]Jesus died for our sins and rose again in 3 days. It only took Jack Bauer an hour. And he's done it twice.

[*]On the seventh day Jack Bauer said, "I'll take it from here."

[*]If you woke up this morning it's because Jack Bauer spared your life.

[*]Nostradamus once predicted in his journal: "In the century 21st, the one known as Jacques will be the saviour of the world... six seasons in a row." Moments later, Jack Bauer knocked down the door, shot Nostradamus in the kneecaps, and yelled "WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?!"

I always wonder with these box sets. Who has the time to actually watch it all? Like this deal, 34 discs! That's a lot of popcorn :)
Voted hot as seems a bargain

People say that, but most people sit in front of the TV for about 2 hours per evening (at least, i'd say). Therefore, you can substitute that with 3 episodes of 24 per evening. You will get through one season per week (pretty much) and be done with this whole boxset after a little more than a month (then get season 6, obviously!).

Superb show, Probably the best thing on television, as in almost as good as the Sopranos or the Wire.

Youll pop one episode in and may think "what the hell is all the fuss about". Trust me by episode 5 (particularly season 1), your into it, and into marathon mode. Its easy to watch a full boxset all at once! Ive done it before.
